entry 884 published generation 0
illustrate liquid pouring into a glass
Revise: the same continuous stream of richly colored liquid pouring into a glass, and this time the impact at the surface creates visible, localized vortexes. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 941 published generation 1
Revise: the same dynamic interaction between the stream and the contained liquid, and this time the localized vortexes generate visible, rising bubbles that coalesce and burst at the surface. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 985 published generation 2
Revise: the same mesmerizing flow of richly colored liquid pouring into a container, and this time the coalescing bubbles leave behind a brief, glowing sheen that drifts downward before dissolving into the liquid. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 1036 not published generation 3
This generation is not published, so the gallery shows the critique and nothing else.
generation 3 — waits for a person
DECIDE[lineage-depth] is three: a self-prompted line runs three generations on its own and then stops until somebody looks at it. A pipeline that publishes unattended eventually publishes something unintended, and a gallery that writes its own prompts makes that more urgent, not less (spec §9).
